  "title": "Contrast the wish with the obstacle before making the plan",
  "summary": "Imagine the useful result, then let reality into the room.",
  "kind": "protocol",
  "body": "Use WOOP: choose an achievable wish, picture the outcome, identify an important internal obstacle and plan your response. The contrast matters; pleasant visualization alone leaves the obstruction untouched. Separate an internal habit you can address from an external constraint that needs resources or a different goal.",
  "limits": [
    "This is a planning method, not a promise of success. Unaffordable costs, unsafe conditions and structural barriers are reasons to adapt, seek support or stop."

  "example": "For interview practice, the obstacle is repeatedly rewriting notes instead of speaking. The response is to record one answer before editing.",
  "check": "The response addresses the named obstruction rather than restating the wish.",
  "steps": [
    "Write one achievable wish and the outcome that would matter.",
    "Name the recurring internal obstacle without blaming yourself for external conditions.",
    "Choose a specific response, then revise the goal when the real constraint makes it unworkable."
